A reappraisal of the reign of Philip III of Spain (1598-1621), and the king's favourite, first published in 2000.
The Great Favourite
Francisco Gómez de Sandoval, Duke of Lerma (1553-1625) is the last major unknown statesman in modern European history. Patrick Williams brings him dramatically to life and challenges the assumptions that historians have made about him and about Spanish history at a time of profound crisis, inviting a re-evaluation of the phenomenon of government by favorites in this seminal period of European history.

A History of Spain
Originally published in 1958, this was the first scholarly anglophone history of Spain. It covers the whole story from Spanish pre-history onwards and includes a full treatment of the various states until their fusion as a modern nation, and on through the Civil War until the late 20th Century. The book explains the origins and development of Spanish society and the special commitments which determined Spanish policies.

Spain, Europe and the Atlantic
The idea of a dialogue - sometimes harmonious, sometimes divisive - between the centre and periphery of the early modern European state stands at the heart of much of John Elliott's historical writing. It is the fulcrum around which his Imperial Spain revolves, and it lies at the heart of his analysis of the causes of the revolt of the Catalans against the centralising policies of the Madrid government. His writings on the Americas, such as The Old World and the New, likewise stressed the relationship between centre and periphery. This collection of essays by a group of Elliott's former students examines different aspects of this important theme and develops them. Taken together with the 'personal appreciation' of Elliott (Regius Professor of Modern History at Oxford), it forms an important examination of the work of the greatest living historian of Spain as well as a major contribution to early modern European history.
